Air Fried Peanut Butter Banana Bites

Have you ever had one of those days when you just crave something sweet, but you don’t want to derail all the healthy choices you’ve been making?

I had one of those days last week, and instead of reaching for a cookie, I whipped up these Air Fried Peanut Butter Banana Bites.

Not only did they hit the spot, but they also reminded me of the snacks my mom used to make when I was little. They’re quick, easy, and packed with flavor – plus, the air fryer makes them a guilt-free treat!

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 1 Lavash
• Peanut butter or almond butter
• Optional: Melted chocolate chips for drizzling

Instructions

1. Spread the peanut butter: Start by laying out your Lavash and spreading a generous layer of peanut butter (or almond butter, if you’re feeling fancy). Make sure you cover the whole surface so that every bite is full of that creamy goodness.
2. Roll the banana: Place a whole banana on one end of the Lavash and gently roll it up, just like a burrito. The peanut butter acts like glue, holding everything together.
3. Slice into pieces: Once your Lavash is rolled up, slice it into 1-inch pieces. Each little piece will be a perfect bite-sized snack.
4. Air fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Place the pieces in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re not touching, and cook for 8-10 minutes. They’ll come out golden and slightly crispy on the edges – absolute perfection!
5. Drizzle with chocolate: If you’re feeling indulgent, melt some chocolate chips and drizzle them over your bites once they’re done air frying. It adds a touch of sweetness that pairs perfectly with the peanut butter and banana.
6. Enjoy: Let them cool for a minute or two (if you can wait that long), and then dig in! These bites are warm, gooey, and so satisfying.
